He has not played a professional senior game at club or international level. Article fails WP:NFOOTBALL. Also fails WP:GNG. Simione001 (talk) 08:55, 15 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Passes WP:NFOOTBALL. He has played in Allsvenskan, which is the highest level of football in Sweden and a fully professional league. The external link provided confirms it. A problem with so many articles is that they don't assert why the person is notable in the lead. Walls of Jericho (talk) 11:45, 16 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Is there a secondary source for this appearance? I'm struggling to find one. From past experience i know http://svenskfotboll.se can sometimes have mistakes.Simione001 (talk) 12:09, 16 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I've provided a couple. Both are very helpful to me when sourcing information and checking notability. Walls of Jericho (talk) 12:25, 16 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - meets WP:NFOOTBALL; needs improving, not deleting. Giant Snowman 10:17, 17 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. A contemporary, non-stats-database, source to confirm his appearance is this match report on the Sveriges Radio website. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 10:56, 17 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - has played in Allsvenskan, and passes WP:NFOOTY. Also seems to pass WP:GNG despite the low quality of the article. Mentoz86 (talk) 09:42, 21 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
